England, Whales and Scotland

While hiking throughout England, Wales, and Scotland I came across numerous gates, bridges, stones, streams, rivers, and mountain crossings. Some were easier than others to cross, however, the joy was in figuring out how to do it and get on the other side. It became a metaphor for my life.  Some of the gates I opened led me to some spectacular trails, I was filled with wonder and joy. At other crossings, I felt lost, alone and scared.  All in all… I kept on going. It was up to me whether I found the joy.  It was ok to feel nervous sometimes. To not let fear stop you…that is the key. Everything happens for a reason…BELIEVE!
